Spectra SP80 with external radio
Hello everyone. My bluetooth doesnt work on one of my SP80s so I’m trying to connect my TSC7 collector to my SP80 and Pacific Crest radio via a cables. I got a cable from Western States Cables (Brad has been super helpful). I have the TSC7 connected via 9 pin to the SP80 and the SP80 connected to the radio via limo connectors. The cable I got from Brad also powers both units. The problem is that when I try to start the base I get an error that the port is already in use. Has anyone ever used a setup like this? I’m hoping I just have a setting issue or else I’ll need to send the SP80 for repairs.

I had a similar problem with my trimble gear. I switched the port number in the data collector and all worked fine after that.
@husker796 Thanks, I did try that. It allowed me to connect to the radio with everything hooked but it still doesnt work when I try to start the base. I’m going to try changing some settings in my survey style and see if that helps.
